Welcome to your quick dose of tidbits, news, and info for the week: ? First up, here’s a neat interview with Phil Clevenger, the Lightroom interface designer. It’s about 12 minutes long and definitely worth watching to get an idea of what went on behind the interface design of Lightroom and where it may be heading. ? Next, I’ll be teaching Lightroom at Photoshop World in Las Vegas September 2-4. If you can make it, I...

I’ve been studying Architectural photography a lot lately and I’ve come across some really great websites. Thomas Grubba photography is one of them. He’s got a great portfolio of both interior and exterior photos.

He’s got some amazing landscape work as well as some equally amazing portraits. Make sure you...

Anyway, on to the inspiration/website for the week. This one is for all of you wedding...
